Post Malone Scraps 8 Asia Dates, Bruno Mars Set to Fill Australasian Void
Post Malone has cancelled his planned four-city Australian stadium tour — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth — along with a co-headline slot at the Strummingbird festival and eight scheduled shows across Asia. According to a roundup by IQ Magazine's newsletter The Load Out, the cancellations landed the same week as another Australian market casualty: TEG's country music festival Longhaul Festival, which has also been called off. Into the newly open touring window steps Bruno Mars, who has announced multi-night shows across Australasia for early next year.

Organizers have not explained the reason for the cancellation or whether the festival will return in a future year.
